Diary of Guarding Monster Girls-Chapter 691 - 378 I’m kissing you (8.2K, please subscribe!)_2
"Besides, didn't I just do it?"
Herbert pouted and grumbled a bit unhappily, "Even this time, didn't I help you get rid of the chaos?"
"Why do you make it sound like I'm always freeloading off you? Am I that kind of person?"
Although he complained like this on the surface, Herbert silently agreed in his heart—hey, you know what?
You sure have a keen eye!
I really am that kind of person.
"...Huh? Huh!!!"
It was only now that Flora regained her senses and realized she had completely escaped from the chaotic nightmare and returned to reality.
She looked around at the familiar surroundings, pursed her lips, and timidly asked, "How long was I unconscious this time?"
Previously, her chaos lasted for months, even years, often several months, sometimes years.
Only through long-term chaotic torment could she barely regain a sliver of sanity in the nightmare and return to normal.
And this time, she had quite a lengthy dream within the dream... External time must not have been short.
But the result was beyond her expectations.
"Less than an hour?"
Herbert thought for a moment and said in an unsure tone, "Anyway, as soon as I noticed something was wrong, I came over."
"Kreti said you've been in chaos for over ten minutes, the exact duration isn't clear, but it definitely wasn't more than an hour, maybe not even thirty minutes."
Herbert nodded humbly, not wanting to be too definitive, leaving a little leeway—let's just say it was an hour.
!!?
Herbert felt this was pretty ordinary, nothing particularly commendable, and seemed quite humble.
But only the one truly trapped in chaos could understand how astonishing the implications of his words were!
Flora needed months or even years to escape the chaotic state, yet in his hands, it didn't even last half an hour!!?
And even more exaggerated, at least half of that half-hour was when she was in chaos herself.
In other words, Herbert needed only fifteen minutes to help her recover!!?
This chaos instinct... is so simple in your hands?
You can manage it so easily?
Then what were all my efforts in the past half of my life for?
"This this this... huh?"
Feeling her worldview shaken, Flora fell into a state of "chaos".
["You seem to have scared her quite a bit."] Miss Harmonious God giggled after witnessing Flora's exaggerated reaction.
You little one, your courage matches your bust size, it seems, can't handle this?
Being frightened already really is amusing.
Herbert expressed his understanding—it's not Flora's fault, it's Nenasha's.
"You're the one who scared her, right?"
Clearly, the problem lies with you this time.
Don't scream 'thief' to catch the thief here.
Indeed, criminals do love to return to the crime scene to admire their handiwork.
This time, it was largely thanks to Nenasha that Flora could return to normal, although Herbert played a significant role.
With His help, Herbert was able to successfully enter Flora's chaotic nightmare.
And it was with His great help that Flora's dream was modified and rewritten.
Indeed, this time, Nenasha is the MVP, and Herbert just rode along to victory.
["Did I scare her? Haha, how could that be? I'm nothing but a cute little black cat~"]
Miss Harmonious God refused to acknowledge her credit, jokingly blowing in Herbert's ear: ["Meow~"]
Herbert: ?
Playfully acting cute, huh?
You're imitating a cat here, huh?
Why the feigned innocence...
["Hmm?"]
Having spent enough time together, Nenasha understood Herbert's emotional changes better, keenly capturing the subtle shift.
["Hey, what impolite thoughts are you having again? I'm about to get mad."]
Ahem!
Herbert cleared his throat, repeatedly denying, "No, cough, cough, it's just your imagination! How could I be so rude?" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
["Hum, you better be."]
Miss Harmonious God didn't take his slight disrespect to heart—at this point in their relationship, talking about respect was meaningless.
These noisy interactions were just small amusements that they both understood and enjoyed.
Yes.
Everyone was part of their play.
Whether Nenasha was addicted to it or had ulterior motives is unknown, but she kept imitating cat sounds: ["Meow meow~ meow~ meow..."]
"..."
Herbert finally managed to escape Nenasha's mental torment of cat imitations, focusing back on Flora, who was gradually calming down.
He smiled at her and casually said:
"I kept my promise, didn't I?"
Flora pursed her lips and nodded:
"...Yes."
No matter the little hiccups at the end, Herbert had indeed, as he claimed, helped her temporarily break free from chaos.
"Then, you should also keep your promise, right?"
"...Yes, you're right."
Yes, that seems fair.
Flora nodded gently, restoring her usual respectfulness.
She had fully calmed down.
Their relationship remained that of master and servant—would it truly be as she wished?
The answer, quite obviously, was no.
"Great."
After receiving Flora's confirmation, Herbert smiled, stood up, and sat back down beside her.
He leaned against Flora, hugging his knees, allowing their shoulders to touch lightly.
